In 1978, a Baylor sophomore rousted herself from bed to attend Sunday School. Although her reasons for going that morning were a little unorthodox, the friendships that resulted have been a firm foundation in her life ever since.

In the verdant rain forests of South America, along a stretch of the Amazon River where villagers have rarely, if ever, seen foreigners, a mission team of Baylor students traveled by riverboat to bring medical supplies and the message of God's love. They thought what they shared would change the hearts of others, but it was their own hearts that were touched most deeply.
